About the project

We’re building a new secondary school in Werribee. It will open day one of Term 1 in 2024 and help the growing local population get a great education close to home. It will be able to enrol up to 550 students when the first stage of the school is complete.

Nganboo Borron School will be located next to the school.

Funding

Funding type
New School

  • Walcom Ngarrwa Secondary College was chosen as this new school’s name following a two-week community consultation. Walcom Ngarrwa (pronounced wel-cum nar-wa) are Wadawurrung words meaning steps to knowledge.

    We used Lollypop Creek Secondary School as an interim name while the school was being planned and designed.

  • Bradley Moyle was appointed as principal of the new school.

    Brad has over 20 years’ experience as a leader in primary, P–12 and secondary schools. He is passionate about equipping today's students to be the leaders and community members of tomorrow. As the foundation principal of Walcom Ngarrwa Secondary College, Brad looks forward to working with the Werribee community to support all learners to be their best.

  • When the school opens in Term 1, 2024, it will include:

    • a design, arts, technology and science (DATS) building
    • a learning neighbourhood
    • hard courts
    • a carpark.

    We are also delivering a community hub.

    Students will have great modern learning areas with air conditioning and heating. Outside, they will have shade sails for sun protection. We have designed the school to be environmentally sustainable and easy to manage.

  • Across late 2021 and during early–mid 2022, we consulted with local Traditional Owners, represented by the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation to endorse the design of this new school.

    We sought feedback and advice on:

    • local Indigenous plantings
    • cultural stories and histories
    • translations of Indigenous words
    • design elements that could enhance cultural education and understanding
